Early History 

HE earliest white settlement on the Clinton 
River was located half a mile west of the city 
limits of Mount Clemens, and later became the 
town of Frederick. It was established by the 
Moravian missionaries in the year 1782. The 
last of the original Moravians was Richard Connor, who 
lived at the settlement until his death, April 17, 1808. 

The site of the present city of Mount Clemens, which 
was founded by Judge Christian Clemens in 1795, later 
absorbed all the other settlements in the vicinity on account 
of its ideal location for a city and also on account of being 
at the head of navigation on the Clinton River. It was 
first platted in 1818, and on January 15 of that year. Gov- 
ernor Cass laid out the county of Macomb and established 
Mount Clemens as its seat of justice. 

Mount Clemens' Famous Mineral Waters 

These curative waters are secured from deep wells, 
though they are frequently referred to as springs. They 
range in depth from 800 to 1,300 feet. 

The first well was drilled in 1865. 

Several well-known citizens took thermal salt baths 
from improvised bath tubs, and very remarkable cures 
were effected in cases of eczema, neuralgia and rheumatism. 
The first was Dorr Kellogg. 

Dr. Abner Hayward was one of the pioneer physicians 
in recognizing the virtues of the water as a healing agency 
with its great medicinal properties, but little progress was 
made until 1S73, when Dr. Henry Taylor, Sr., and his son. 
Dr. Henry Taylor, Jr., and Mr. E. W. Lewis formed a 
company to build a bath house and exploit the mineral 
waters. The company was called the Mineral Springs 
Company. They erected the Original Bath House and 
Avery Hotel, being the first to supply the demand for baths

with accommodations for invalid visitors. This Company 
issued a booklet at that time, called "Mount Clemens' 
Mineral Springs." for the purpose of inducing health 
seekers to come to Mount Clemens. It contained, among 
other general information, perhaps the first analysis ever 
made of these mineral waters, by Prof. S. P. Duffield. In 
connection with the analysis, which appeared in the Phila- 
delphia Medical and Surgical Reporter. Dr. Duflield says in 
part : "This water belongs to the sulphurious or hepatic 
class. It also has a large amount of mineral salts. It will 
be valuable for all bathing purposes, affording the bather 
the combined influence of salt and sulphur both. The 
water shows the presence of magnetism or electricity, 
which positively exists in large quantities." 

For twenty years after the first bath house was built. 
Mount Clemens' growth as a health resort was slow, but 
showed an increased number of visitors each year. In 1S93 
this Guide was first issued for the purpose of exploiting this 
resort, and has been issued annually for the past twenty- 
three years. During that time 502,000 copies have been dis- 
tributed, to induce health seekers to visit Mount Clemens. 
The publishers modestly claim some part of the credit for 
the wonderful growth of this resort during the past twenty 
years, which has resulted in the erection of some of the 
world's greatest bathing establishments and hotels during 
that time, and Mount Clemens taking rank zcith America's 
greatest health resorts. 

(Editor's Note.— The claim of Prof. S. P. Duffield. that the 
waters of iVIount Clemens show the presence of magnetism or 
electricity, as noted above, should strengthen the claim of a local 
physician, who has made tests of the water which show the pres- 
ence of radium in its gaseous form. I would suggest that steps 
be taken by the bathing interests to secure some noted chemist, 
under the direction of the U. S. Government, to test the waters 
to find if thev are "Radio-.4cthe." If it is true that these waters 
contain this rare element, it will in a large measure explain the 
tlierapeutic value of the Mount Clemens' baths, so strikingly 
demonstrated at this resort. This question should be determined, 
nd. if true, made known to ^e »-rir1^] ]

This Bepresents tbe Mineral Salts Contained in One Mount Clemens Bath. 
(63 Gallons of Mineral Water.) 

The World-Famous Mineral Baths 

The mineral baths of Mount Clemens have been proved 
conclusively to be the strongest in use. from the fact that 
the mineral salts contained in one Mount Clemens bath 
(sixty-five gallons of water) weigh one hundred and 
twenty-five pounds, five and three-fourths ounces (125 
pounds. 5'''i ounces), as determined by John Meyers, chem- 
ist. Their efficiency in the treatment of all forms of rheu- 
matism is without a superior. 

The baths at Mount Clemens are administered with 
much care and attention. Engagements are made at the 
office of the bath house for the exact time the invalid de- 
sires to bathe. No attendant is allowed to treat more th^n 
one person at a time. The time allowed for each bath is 
iisuailv one-half hour. 



Fifteen minutes is the average time oc- 
cupied in the bath tub, and following 
the bath, a thorough drying and rubbing 
is administered, after which sufficient time 
is spent m the cooling room to reduce the 
beat of the body to its normal condition 
as nearly as possible before the invalid is 
allowed to venture out of doors. All 
danger of taking cold is guarded against 
by this important precaution. No invalid 
should take a hot bath in these mineral 
waters without first consulting a resident 
physician. Medical and physical e.xamina- 
tion of the invalid before bathing, unless 
his condition is well known, is imperative. 
No two cases are exactly alike, and there- 
fore the baths and medical treatment 
should vary accordingly, under competent 
medical supervision. These mineral waters 
are very potent for good if properly and 
intelligently applied, but dangerous when used recklessly. 

Diseases and Diseased Conditions Amenable 
to the Mount Clemens Bath Treatment 

In enumerating the list of diseased conditions amen- 
able to the bath treatment, let it be distinctly understood 
that the extent or degree of relief or the permanency of 
cure cannot be predicted in advance, as in the use of any 
remedy it will, first and last, be a matter of individual 
reaction in any given case. 

Diseases Due to Faulty Metabolism. — Gout and Rheu- 
matism, Diabetes Mellitus, Obesity. 

Diseases of Heart and Blood Vessels. 

Diseases of the Nerz'ous ^w/fm.— Neuritis, Neuras- 
thenia, Neuralgia, Locomotor .Ataxia, Hysteria, Epilepsy.

All-the-Y ear-Round Resort 

Mount Clemens has long been looked upon as a sum- 
mer resort only, but of late years the improvements made 
in the best hotels and bathing houses by steam heating, 
etc., have made the houses so comfortable tliat baths are 
given in the coldest weather, and with proper and prudent 
precaution on the part of bathers, without the least danger 
of taking cold. The degree of heat is equalized all over 
these houses, and even in the passageways connecting the 
hotels with the Clementine, Olympia, Fountain and Are- 
thusa Bath Houses, the same degree of heat is maintained 
by steam radiators. Thus the baths are given in 
tiie most severe and disagreeable weather as 
well as in the most pleasant season of the year. 

It is claimed by many that cures are more 
readily obtained in winter than at any other sea- 
son, because the invalids make a business of 
getting well, remain indoors, take better cai-e of 
themselves and bathe regularly. Therefore. 
many cases of rheumatism are cured in winter 
in a short time that pos!;ibly would not be cured 
at all if the invalid did not do his part toward 
recovery. 

It is true that this place has only been con- 
sidered a health resort, and as such has become 
justly noted, and it will always attract the larg- 
est number because its mineral waters and the 
baths cure so many of the ills afflicting the- 
human family. .>\dded to the great variety of 
sports and amusements offered, is the fact that 
the opportunities for pleasure are numerous in 
and about Mount Clemens, and the citizens 
cater to the fancies of all classes. This makes 
Mount Qemens a very desirable "Health and 
Pleasure Resort all the vcar round."

Mount Clemens' City Park 

City of Mount Clemens . 

Mount Clemens is one of the most beautiful cities in 
Michigan, a State noted for having a large number that 
properly come under this class. Its lovely shaded streets, 



lined with ele- 
gant residences 
n f prosperous 
citizens and the 
cozy cottage 
liouses of the 
working people, 
all combine to 
make the city a 
desirable place 
o f residence 
and an exceed- 
ingly pleasant 
place for the 
general travel- 
er to visit. 

The business 
of the city as a 
mercantile cen- 
ter is somewhat 
retarded by its 
close proximity 
to the city of 
Detroit, a very 
beautiful place, 
and one of the 
most prosper- 
ous and enter- 
prising of its 
size in the

However, all kinds of trade are represented in the retail 
line, and well-assorted stocks of goods are to be found in 
the handsome, commodious storerooms of Mount Clemens, 
where they are sold at reasonable prices, which competition 
with the merchants of its neighboring city necessitates.

the Union. Its future growth and prosperity very largely 
depend upon the enterprise of its own citizens. 

The city has water-works, gas and electric lights, elec-

Running and Harness Races 

A company has been formed to build a fine race track 
near the city, and it intends to hold during the summer a 
series of both running and harness races. This will offer 
a diversion to the visitors, and will prove of great benefit 
to Mount Clemens in inducing many to come here for plea- 
sure. 



Boating and Fishing 

The Clinton River, which circles through the city, 
affords splendid boating, and Lake St. Clair, which is 
reached in seven miles, is our fishing grounds. 

The steamer ride down the river, across the lake, 
through the Government Canal past the "Flats," frequently 
called the "Venice of America," to Walpool Indian reserva- 
tion and return, is certainly very enjoyable, and one all 
visitors to Mount Clemens should take.

Cbe Clementine T5atf) lt)oiise 

MIS is one of the most elegant hath houses i" 
the United States, and is deservedly popular 
and successful. Its appointments are first-clas^ 
and modern. It is kept scrupulously neat and 
clean and always up-to-date, and its business 
has increased annually, and during the last busy season 
its capacity was taxed to almost its full limit. 

This splendid property is owned by Mr. John R. 
Murphy, of Allegheny. Pa., who for over fourteen year> 
was chief of police and director of public safety of that. 
his native city. He has organized a stock company. Clem- 
entine Bath Company, of which he is president. 

The Clementine deserves its reputation, and its patrons 
are of the very best class of visitors and citizens. 

Every kind of bath given in this city is given at the 
Clementine, including tub, douche, spray and vapor. 

Connected with each bath room, is a dressing and cool 
ing room, provided with a lounge or couch, upon which a 
nap or rest may be had after the bath. The mineral water 
supply is obtained from a well drilled especially for this 
bath house, and is situated on an adjacent lot. entirely 
separate, where are located the engines, boilers, pumps 
and water-tanks, and the only connection is by pipes, whicli 
convey the mineral water and the steam heat used. 

The building is not only handsome in its construction. 
but is commodious and conveniently arranged. 

The front part of the building is four stories high, with 
lofty ceilings. On the ground floor is a large office, with 
its handsome tile floor and beautiful finish of natural oak. 
On the left of the office are the ladies' parlor and cooling 
rooms. The former is carpeted and furnished equal to the 
average private parlor. On the right are the gentlemen's

parlors, reading and cooling rooms ; neatly finished, in 
keeping with the office and rooms, entirely of oak. 

The attendants, both male and female, are those who 
have !iad long experience, and they are always kind and 
obliging to their invalid patrons. They prepare the bath, 
attend to the wants of the bathers, massage and manipu- 
late the patients while in the bath, and rub and dry them 
after the bath : for these services the attendant's fee is 25 
cents. The tickets for mineral baths are 50 cents ; vapor, 
~5 cents ; foot-baths, 25 cents ; fresh-water bath, 25 cents.

Mr. John R. Murphy last year added two more stories 
to tlie bath house, and has at great expense converted the 
three upper floors into a modern European hotel building, 
with the latest equipments, such as elevator service, elec- 
tric lights, steam heat, stationary wasli-stands, and tele- 
phone service. The hotel department has been leased to 
Mr. George C. Fenton, who now conducts an exclusive 
European hotel (Hotel Fenton). This will offer a great 
convenience to the many patrons of the Clementine Bath 
House who desire to be located conveniently to their baths 
and to enjoy the complete service now offered by this 
popular bath house. 

This extensive remodeling extended to the bathing de- 
partment, and many improvements that will meet with the 
approval of the host of patrons of the Clementine Bath 
House were made. The two additional stories greatly im- 
prove the appearance of the exterior of this beautiful bath 
house, with its wide verandas and ideal location. 

Cass Avenue, upon which the Clementine fronts, is a 
restful picture in summer time. Hundreds of tall shade 
trees line the avenue and entwine their branches in mag- 
nificent arches of Nature's green above the driveway. The 
Clementine is on the line of the electric railway leading 
from the Grand Trunk Railway, is within one block of the 
City Hall and the business center of Mount Clemens and 
the Rapid and Lake Side electric lines to Detroit and Port 
Huron. 

The Clementine Hotel and Capron House are connected 
with this bath house ; the former by doorway and the lat- 
ter by hallway. The Sherman House and Eastman Hotel 
are also located opposite. 

The Clementine is also convenient to several smaller 
hotels and boarding houses and is extensively patronized 
by their boarders. They are the .■\rlington. the ."Xntler. 
the Woodbine, the Chase Cottage, the Tennessee, the Wal- 
nut and others.

BATHS OF ARETHUSA. 
20 



The Baths of Arethusa 

The Arethusa is the last bath hou->.- 
erected at Mount Clemens, being completeil 
in 19H. It was built along the latest and 
best lines of modern bath house construo- 
tion. The bath rooms are constructed of 
solid Tennessee marble: the floors are of 
tile and the joints are rounded the same as 
in modern hospitals. The entire buildins; 
and fixtures are of such a character as t" 
insure absolute cleanliness and the most 
hygienic conditions. 

The building is three stories high, of 
Colonial arcliitecture. The two upper fioor.s 
are devoted to furnished rooms, and the 
entire first floor to the bathing department. 
The main lobby and the parlors are finished 
in Mission oak and arc both large and ele- 
gantly furnished. Both the ladies' and 
gentlemen's bathing departments include 
cooling rooms and cot rooms ; in fact. 
everything has been provided to add to the 
comforts of the bather. 

The Arethusa employs attendants who 
are highly proficient in their work and gen- 
tle with patients. 

The Baths of .'\rethusa is located on 
South Gratiot Avenue, most convenient to 
the many hotels and boarding houses, and 
just half a block from the interurban wait- 
ing room. 

The name .Arethusa is taken from Gre- 
cian mythology, and refers to the nymph 
Arethusa, who, pursued by a river god. 
.'\lpheus, called upon Diana for help and

was changed into a fountain. Arethtisa 
plunged into an abyss and passed through the 
earth and came out on an island in the har- 
bor of Syracuse, Sicily. The fountain, now 
salt, much loved for its wondrous medicinal 
properties, still flows. The grateful Sicilians, 
to commemorate its beneficent services, placed 
on one of their coins a head of the nymph 
Arethusa. 

The wonderful mineral waters of Mount Clemens, 
Mich., warrant the belief that the nymph has repeated 
her flight, and to show our gratitude we have named

them "The Baths of Arethusa." Our waters are not 
pure; they are the most highly mineralized waters in 
use; and while some, on account of the extreme 
depth, contain a little more sodium (common salt) 
than others, they all contain the same curative qual- 
ities. 

In order to accommodate a limited number of our 
patrons who desire to be convenient to the bath, we 
have provided exclusive furnished rooms on the two 
floors above the parlor. Steam heat, hot and cold 
running water, stationary wash-stands, etc., are in- 
cluded, while they are most elegantly furnished.

The Fountain Bath Hoase 

This large establishment has recently made very im- 
portant improvements, including solid porcelain tubs, tile 
and mosaic floors, marble wainscoting and partitions, mak- 
ing the interior look like an entirely new house. It is the 
second largest in the city, and one of the largest in the 
United States, having fifty bath rooms, four cooling rooms, 
ladies' and gentlemen's parlors, physicians' offices and a 
rotunda or general reception room over twenty feet wide, 
fifty-six feet long, and with a ceiling twenty-four feet 
high. In the construction of the Fountain, especial atten- 
tion was given to ventilation, a very important item in a 
bath house. The Fountain Bath House also contains 
seventy private cooling rooms, which assures perfect privacy 
to bathers. Extra large rooms and bath tubs are provided 
for those so badly crippled and deformed that it would be 
difficult or impossible to bathe in an ordinary tub or be 
conveniently handled in a small bath room. All the various 
kinds of baths administered at this resort can be had at 
the Fountain. A gymnasium is provided for all patrons. 
An extensive steam laundry is also provided for the 
thorough washing of bath robes, etc. The mineral water 
supplying this bath house is obtained from one of the 
deepest wells in the city, and is situated just back of the 
bath house and under the tall tower, but this building is 
entirely separate. 

The price of baths is the same as at all the houses, being 
50 cents for mineral water, 25 cents for mineral foot-bath, 
and 75 cents for mineral vapor. Fresh-water bath, 25 cents. 
Attendant's fee, 25 cents extra. The Fountain Bath House 
is connected with the Clifton House, on same block, by 
an enclosed passageway, and also witli the Fountain Hotel 



and the Crystal. The passageways are heated by steam, 
well lighted, and the return to the hotel after the bath 
can be made without exposure or danger of taking cold.

Office and Lobby, Medea Hotel. 



The Medea Hotel and Bath House 

The new iledea Hotel is designed to meet the demands 
of a large and exclusive class of visitors who desire a 
thoroughly modern and roomy house with an attractive 
central location. 

Opening off the lobby arc the bathing departments, 
ladies' parlor, dining room, ordinary, reading and writing 
rooms, buffet, barber shop, a public and private office, ele- 
vator and stairways. 

All the hotel and bathrooms and passageways are so 
heated, lighted and ventilated and interconnected as to 
form a miniature health and pleasure resort at any and all 
seasons of the vcar. 



The Medea Hotel is located in the center of the city, 
opposite the Court House and principal business houses. 
The interurban waiting room is opposite our main en- 
trance, and all cars stop in front of our door. The New 
Medea Hotel is modern, newly renovated and decorated. 
The bath house is located right in the hotel and you can 
go from your room to the bath house in your bath robe, 
if desired. 

The Medea building is in every respect modern; it is 
constructed of brick, stone and steel, and is practically fire- 
proof. It is located at the intersection of the two prin- 
cipal avenues of the city, and overlooking Court House 
Square on the one side and the Clinton River on the other.

ing nothing in the way of modern appointments. Fully 
250 people can be served at one time in the dining room 
and ordinary without the least inconvenience. 

The three upper stories of the hotel are reached from 
the office by a marble stairway of easy gradient and a 
hydraulic elevator. 

On each floor are two extra wide halls, extending at 
right angles nearly 200 feet from a spacious foyer. 

The constructive finishings of the interior of the 
structure accord throughout with its massive and pictur- 
esque exterior. The building faces Gratiot, as beautiful 



an avenue as any city in the land can boast. There are 
two entrances besides the one to the bath house off this 
street. 

The Medea Bath House 

The justly celebrated Medea is one of the pioneers of 
Michigan mineral waters. It is strongly impregnated with 
salt and sulphur, standing first among the noted saline- 
sulphur springs of the world. In calcic and magnesia 
chlorides it is remarkably rich, rendering the Medea baths

exceptionally valuable in the treatment of 
rheumatism and skin diseases. 

The bath departments are fitted throughout 
with solid porcelain tubs of large size. The 
bath rooms are partitioned with white Italian 
marble and floored with vitreous tiling, thus 
affording the very highest degree of beauty 
and sanitation obtainable. 

The bathing departments are separated 
from the general waiting rooms, parlors and 
cooling rooms by a transverse hall, and con- 
tain 150 bath rooms with a daily capacity of 
over 1,500 baths. 

For each bath room there is a dressing and 
cooling room, where patients are afforded 
privacy and where an undisturbed and re- 
freshing rest after bathing may be enjoyed. 

Medea was a favorite goddess in mythical 
lore, symbolizing the Dawn. Her virtues have 
been lauded by modern poets because of her 
mysterious power in restoring to rheumatic 
old /Eson the bloom and activity of youth. 
She gave her name 
to the Medes. who 
in connection with 
the Persians have 
been handed down 
in history. She also 
gave her name with 
added luster to 
Mount Clemens' fa- 
mous bath house, 
where thousands of 
/Esons are annually 
restored 1 health 
and youthful vigor.

The Park Hotel and Bath House 

The first impression of a hotel is the one that lingers. 
When you put your foot over the threshold of a hostelry 
where the dominating thought is the guests' comfort, you 
can't mistake it. It's a part of the place. There is a 
homelike easiness and modern hotel luxuriousness very 
pleasingly combined at the Park. You are known by name 
here and not by number, and still your e.xclusiveness is as 
secure as in a one-room cabin on the top of Pike's Peak. 
If you arc a mi.xer. you'll find friends to your liking. 

The whole house is lu.xuriously but tastefully furnished. 
The public rooms have that restful air about them that 
makes you want to "linger and wait." The bed chambers, 
with all the modern aids to comfort, simply wrap you up 
in their comforting arms and hold you there. You will 
be impressed with the reasonableness of the hotel rates. 
The table is the very best the market affords, and is served 
in abundance, this hostelry being noted for its excellent 
cuisine. 

The location of the Park is ideal, being situated on East 
Street (No. 65), one block from the Clinton River. This 
space has been converted into a beautiful park, with 



shrubbery, trees, flowers and fountains. A boat landing 
has been constructed at the river's edge, and arbors and 
colonnades at the river front. The grounds are the private 
property of the Park Hotel, and are open to the guests of 
that hotel. They are a monument to the memory of the 
noble woman wliose conception they were. Mrs. Margaretha 
Kieffer. and so named in her honor (Margaretha Park). 

The Park Hotel was constructed with a view to both 
comfort and convenience. Its splendid lobby and corridors 
and wide verandas afford delightful promenades. Many 
of the rooms are en suite, with private bath rooms, afford- 
ing the guest every comfort and luxury. 

The interurban cars pass the door to Detroit and any 
part of the city, while the hotel is in easy walking distance 
of the business district. The proprietors, Messrs. Kieffer 
and McArthur, have had many years' experience in the 
hotel business. The Park Hotel is one of the oldest and 
most popular hotels at this famous resort. New additions 
Iiave been added from time to time to- meet the demands 
of increasing business, until today it is one of the largest 
and best-known resort hotels in this country. The rates 
are from $3.50 and up per day. according to room and 
location.

The Park Bath House 

The Park Bath House is under the same roof as the 
hotel, which makes it very convenient for the guest to 
take the Mineral Baths without exposing himself to the 
danger of taking cold. The owner, Mr, George Kieffer, 
has personal supervision over this department. His long 
experience has made him deservedly popular with its 
patrons and the steady increase in business is largely due 
to his untiring efforts to see that his many patrons receive 
the best attention from his crew of attendants, who have 
had years of experience in the administration of the famous 
Mineral Baths, and who look after the every want of the 
bather. 

The Park Bath House is one of the finest bathing in- 
stitutions in the country, having marble floors, partitions 
and wainscoting, and private cooling rooms, and the latest 
and most convenient arrangements, offered only in the 
most modern bathing establishments. Every luxury Nero 
dreamed of is to be found here. It is far more scientific 
and modern in its appointments than most of the cele- 
brated baths of the Old World. 

The price of the baths is moderate : 75 cents for a vapor 
bath, 50 cents for a hot mineral bath, with a fee of 25 
cents for the attendant. 

There are many eminent physicians and skilled trained 
nurses in Mount Clemens. The mineral water of Mount 
Clemens is twice as rich in valuable mineral substances as 
Nauheim water, four times as rich as Carlsbad and forty 



times as rich as the famous sulphur springs of Ai.x-les- 
Bains!

and we do this without seeking to detract from the ac-

Hotel Fenton. 



Hotel Fenton 

Tlic Fentoir is the newest of the modern hotels to enter 
the lield for patronage. Mr. John R. Murphy last year 
added two stories above the Clementine Bath House, mak- 
ing three stories above the bath house proper. The con- 
struction was carried out with a view to the very latest 
modern hotel equipments. The rooms are large and all 
outside exposure, most of them having private toilet, and 
all having stationary wash-stands, hot and cold running 
water, steam heat, telephone service and electric lights. 
The ventilation and lighting is perfect. The center of the 
building forms a hollow square, giving each floor a large 
reception hall, with skylight above and openings below to 
the ground floor, affording perfect ventilation and light to 
the entire hotel. The hotel is equipped with passenger 
elevator, so the guest may have every convenience, both to 
the hotel and the Clementine Bath House. 

Mr. George C. Fenton, who for many years conducted 
the hotel of that name ne.xt to the Clementine Bath House, 
has leased the three upper floors or the hotel department 
and his many years of experience in this line are a guar- 
anty of continued success. Mr. Fenton has not spared ex- 



pense in furnishing the hotel, everythmg bemg selected 
with the idea of providing comfort for his guests. The 
beds are mostly of Circassian walnut and oak, and the 
box springs especially manufactured of extra strength, 
while the mattresses are of the finest hair construction. 
The carpets and rugs throughout are the best, and all fur- 
nishings are of the latest. 

The Fenton is conducted on the European plan, while 
a cafe is operated on the second floor for the accommoda- 
tion of guests and outside patrons as well. The cuisine is 
excellent and popular prices prevail. Panacea water is 
served all guests as well as patrons of the cafe. The office 
and parlor are located on the ground floor, also the long- 
distance telephone service and news and cigar stand. 

The rates are reasonable when the service and accommo- 
dations are considered. Guests of the Fenton will find 
that plenty of amusements are provided, such as musicales 
and dancing in the auspicious office and parlors of the 
Clementine Bath House and Fenton Hotel.

The Wappner 

This family hotel was erected and opened to the public in 
1908, and is therefore one of our newest hotels. 

It was well built and contains all the latest improvements, 
including hot and cold running water in each room, and bath 
rooms for both ladies and gentlemen on all floors. The sleep- 
ing rooms are of good size and very nicely furnished; the 
front and corner rooms are especially fine. The illustrations 
on the next page give a good idea of the style of the interior 
arrangement of the house. The center cut of the group shows 
the office and hall leading to the dining room, and the stair- 
way leading to the upper floors. The reading and writing 
room is to the left of the office and the ladies' parlor on the 
right. 

The building of the Baths of Arethusa next door, with a 
similar front, has given this popular family hotel a great ad- 
vantage, equal that of the large hotels having bath houses 
under the same roof; and a convenience fully appreciated by

The Glenwood — Harry Roy, Proprietor. 
46 



The Glenwood 

The Glcinvood has always enjoyed the 
distinction of being one of the most ex- 
clusive family hotels in Mount Clemens. 
It is homelike and caters to the best 
people, and under Mr. Roy's able man- 
agement has always enjoyed a most lib- 
eral patronage. 

It is a three-story brick building, 
lighted by electricity and heated by steam 
Each room has stationary wash-stands, 
with hot and cold running water. There 
are forty rooms, all with outside ex- 
posure. The floors are deadened and 
made entirely of hard wood, and covered 
witli large, movable rugs. The rooms are 
arranged single or en suite. 

The Glenwood is located next door to the Olympia 
Bath House and is connected with it by a steam-heated 
passageway, so that guests of this house are not exposed 
to the outside air when taking their bath. This is a great 
convenience, as it lessens the liability to taking cold. You 
merely put on your bath robe in your room and go in 
direct to your bath and return to cool off in your own 
room instead of the bath house. This is a great advan- 
tage in the winter months. 




The Front Porch of the Glenwood. 

The location of the Glenwood is a most ideal one, being 
on the corner of Cass and North avenues, just two short 
blocks from the heart of the city. The street cars pass the 
door for the depot and for interurban cars to Detroit and 
Port Huron. Cass .Avenue is one of Mount Clemens' most 
beautiful streets. One will not find any more attractive 
place to stop in the city. Rates from $2 to $3 per day. 
.American plan. Special rates by tlie week.

OSTEOPATHY 



Rheumatism and Nervous Diseases a Specialty 

IN connection with Osteopathic treatment the use of the Mineral Baths of Mount 
Clemens is a most valuable adjunct. The water is a tonic in itself, composed, as it is, 
of strong mineral salts, and being reconstructive in its action and upbuilding in its effect, 
the united use of these two agencies brings about most happy results. We advise their 
use in all cases where there is no contraindicated condition present.

A New Model Typewriter! 

Yes, the crowning typewriter triumph is here! 

It is just out and comes years before ex- 
perts expected it. For makers have striven a 
life-time to attain this ideal machine. And 
OHver has won again, as we scored when ^^•e 
gave the world its first visible writing. 

There is truly no other tj-pewriter on earth 
like this new Oliver "9." Think of touch so light 
that the tread of a kitten will run the keys ! 







^ M '-^-, The new-day advances that come alone on this machine 
^ are all controlled by Oliver. Even our own previous 

models— famous in their day — never had the Optional Duplex Shift. 

It puts the whole control of 84 letters and characters in the little 
fingers of the right and left hands. And it lets you write them all with 
only 23 keys, the least to operate of any standard typewriter made. 

Thus Tvriters of all other machines can immediately run the Oliver 
Number '"9" inith more speed and greater ease. 

117 • This brilliant new Oliver comes at the old-lime price. 

o It costa no more than lesser makes — now out-of-date 
when compared with this discovery. 

For while the Oliver's splendid new features are costly — we have 
equalized the added expense to us by simplifying construction. 

Resolve right now to see this great achievement before you spend 
a dollar for any typewriter. If you are using some other make you 
will wani to see how much more this one does. 

If you are using an Oliver, it naturally follows that you want the 
finest model.
